Angry Protestors
Conf ront Falwell
NEW YORK (JTA)-The
Rev. Jerry Falwell confronted a group of angry protestors and dodged eggs and
other items hurled at the
stage at Town Hall last week
to engage with Rabbi
William Berkowitz in a wide-
ranging discussion on domestic issues and his views
on Israel and the Jewish
people.
At least 50 persons were
forcibly removed from the
hall by' security officials.
Nonetheless, many of those
.who remained continued to
jeer and catcall during the
course of the two-hour dialogue. The demonstration at
the outset of the forum set
back the scheduled starting
time by nearly 30 minutes.
Falwell, the leader of the
Moral Majority, told the
equally partisan crowd of
several hundred people that
"I became a lover of the
Jewish people by becoming a
student of. the scriptures"
while in his second year of
college. That remark was
greeted by loud catcalls and
other signs of displeasure.

University in New York City who escaped from Eastern Europe less than a year ago, is celebrating Chanukah this year for the first time in his life. Yosif, 21, defected to the West while with his family on a trip to
Tunisia. He then went to Belgium, Germany and finally to Miami, Fla. "I was a lucky person," he said, but
he. still worries about his parents, his sisters, his brother and other.-members of his family who are still in-
Bulgaria. Chanukah began on Dec. 18 and will last until
Dec. 26.
Fifth Annual Super Sunday Phonathon
Scheduled For Sunday, January 27

fifth annual Super Sunday
phonathon on behalf of the
United Jewish Fund Campaign. Columbus will join
federated communities
throughout the country to
raise dollars for humanitarian programs and services
for Jewish people in Columbus, .Israel and throughout
the world.
In; addition to raising
money, Super Sunday is effective in reaching out to a
broad cross-section of the.
Columbus Jewish commun-
_tiy to raise both consciousness and commitment.
Phoning headquarters will
be located at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center, 1125 College Ave. Volunteers will be
given a choice of seven two-
hour phoning periods:
9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.; 11

p.m.; 2-4 p.m.; 3:30
p.m.-5;30 p.m.; 5-7 p.m. and
6:30-9 p.m.
The day features food, entertainment, prizes and vis
its from local celebrities. "In
previous years, Super Sunday has attracted as many
as 250 community volunteers
Gary Robins .
who enjoy the pace of the
day and the opportunity to
reach out by phone to so
many people," said Gary
Robins, 1985 General Campaign chairman. "This
year," continued Robins,
"We have a $5 million campaign goal in Columbus —
needs worldwide ha"ve never
been greater. We must reach
everyone in the community
who has not already made a
1985 pledge so that we can effectively meet this goal: We
need people to volunteer to
phone and we need people to
answer the call and become
a partner in funding more
than 50 beneficiary agencies
and programs at home and
worldwide."
Members of the commuity
who wish to be a Super Sunday '85 phoner, are encouraged to call the Columbus
Jewish Federation, 237-7686,
extension 24 and volunteer.

UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
— The General Assembly
last week renewed its call for
an international peace conference on the Middle East,
with the participation of the
Soviet Union and the Palestine Liberation Organization and asked Israel and the
United States to reconsider
their opposition to such a
conference.
The call was made in a resolution adopted by the Assembly at the conclusion of
its debate on the Question of
Palestine. The vote was 121
in favor to three against —
Israel, the U.S. and Canada
— with 23, mainly Western
countries, abstaining.
The Assembly adopted
three other resolutions on
the issue of the Palestinians.
The U.S. and Israel voted
against all the resolutions.
One of the resolutions endorsed the recommendations of the Palestine Rights
Committee, which includes a
call for the establishment of
..a,n independent Palestinian
state and the recognition of
the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinian
people. The vote on this resolution was 127:2 (Israel and
the U.S.), with 21 abstentions.
Another resolution expressed continued support of
the United Nations Division
on Palestine. The vote on
this resolution was 130-3
(Israel, the U.S. and Canada), with 17 abstentions.
The fourth resolution requested the UN Department
of Public Information to continue disseminating information on the question of
Palestine. The vote was 131-3
(Israel, the U.S. and Canada), with 15 abstentions.
Says Arab Contention Not
Supported By History
Ambassador Binyamin
Netanyahu of Israel, speaking after the vote, said that
to justify* their .implacable
antagonism towards Israel,
the Arab countries had repeatedly contended that the
Jews had seized Palestine
from the Arabs who had
lived there for centuries.
But, he claimed, that contention was not supported by
history because for thousands of years the Jews had
lived in Palestine.
The Israeli Ambassador
said that the Palestinian ref
ugee problem had been
created largely by Arab
armies who force'cl the
Palestinians to leave their
homes when they attacked
Israel in 1948.
Netanyahu also charged
that the call for an international peace conference was
a "ploy" to legitimize the
PLO. He said peace was possible if the Palestinians, Israel and Jordan come to the
negotiating table as Israel
and Egypt had done. The
Arabs should recognize
Israel "by right and not on
sufferance," he said.
Jeane Kirkpatrick, U.S.
ambassador to the UN, said
she voted against the resolutions because (.hey were unbalanced and unfair. The
U.S. has sympathy for the
Palestinians but the resolutions last night were an "outrageous" interference in the
affairs of the U.S., she
declared.
She noted that the resolution that called for an international peace conference
also charged Israel with not
being a peace-loving nation
and said that this was inconsistent. She said that Israel
has the right to expect fairness from the UN.

Jewish Community Blood Drive
To Be Held On Monday, Deo. 24
The American Red Cross
provides about one-half of
the nation's voluntarily donated blood. Without donors,
Red Cross officials say,
there could be a crisis that
would affect the nation's entire medical system.
Historically, slow periods
for donations run from Memorial Day to Labor Day and,
then again from Christmas
week through the end of January.
This year, members of the
Jewish community can give
the best Chanukah gift of all
— blood, the gift of life — on
Monday, Dec. 24, Jewish
Community Blood Day, according to Sol Derfler, coordinator of the event, which is
sponsored by Capitol Post
No. 122 Jewish War Veterans
of the United Sates of
America.
To maintain an adequate
supply of (blood, the Red
Cross depends upon five million Americans — roughly
two percent of the population
— who voluntarily donate
blood annually. Most of these
people look upon such donations as their community
responsibility.
Donating blood is a fairly
simple procedure. Derfler
notes. "After you register
and fill out a health history
form, a nurse will review the
questions with you, take
your blood pressure and perform a simple test to measure the iron content of your
blood. It usually takes about
ten minutes to actually give
the blood. Then you'll rest a
short time and be given
some refreshments."
Persons 17 years old and
over may donate blood and
Derfler encourages all those,
regardless of age, who have
never donated before as well
as regulars to join the Jewish Community Blood Drive
on Monday, Dec. 24, from
12-6 p.m. at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center, 1125 College Ave.
